2.7 Fight for Justice: What about the Baby?

When Buck Thurman assaulted his wife, Tracey Thurman for the
final time in June 1983, their son CJ wasn’t yet two years
old. After stabbing her and stomping on her, Buck ran into
the apartment she was staying in and grabbed CJ, bringing him out
to see his mother laying limply in the glass, slowly bleeding
out. Buck dumped the baby on Tracey’s stomach and said, “I
killed your F’ing mother.”

Although CJ had witnessed many instances of abuse, surely at 22
months old, he was young enough to not be effected by it,
right?
